“Small things matter.”
Vernestra Rwoh
Jedi Knight Imri Cantaros has found a home to protect within the Nihil terrorized Occlusion Zone. Churo the Hutt strikes out on his own path far from traditional Hutt business ventures. Zenny Greylark searches for her father, lost in the Occlusion Zone, with help from her young Jedi friend Tep Tep! But as the blight spreads across the galaxy, nowhere is safe!
Hutt business! Scav droid swarms! Nanny droid shenanigans! And habitual runaway senate kids!
SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD!
Neighborhood Watch
Imri Cantaros has always been unique. An empathetic young man, Imri has struggled with his role as a Jedi since his days as a Padawan. Cantaros thinks he’s found his place in the galaxy on Aricho, where the people need him most. His place is not at a grand temple, exploring the hyperlanes, or swinging a lightsaber. It’s helping people.
Weird Science
Churo the Hutt has begun to walk his own path, seeking knowledge and innovation instead of profits! He’s even got a job as an assistant to noted scientist Glenna Kip and hopes to use his brains to help the galaxy! Churo has been an amazing character to get to know, and his quirkiness and heart are on full display!
Runaways
Zenny Greylark is back! After running off to find her sister, she enlists Tep Tep and runs off searching for her father! She’s a wonderfully headstrong character who jumps with both feet at helping others. Admirable qualities, and I think we’d all be lucky to have a friend like her.
Bits and Pieces
Justina Ireland offers up a story full of heart and unity. Imri Cantaros shines in this book and has some of the most uplifting and heart-wrenching moments. The supporting cast is also filled with a few returning favorites like Yacek Sparkburn, J-6, and Vernestra Rwoh! It’s a story about the differences in all of us, and how we can find a place where we belong. Justina Ireland’s final (I personally hope not) The High Republic story hits us with something truly beautiful and heartfelt. It builds on themes of hope and empathy, and just how important it is to help and care for each other.
This is a must-read for Star Wars fans who appreciate the unique spark in everyone and finding your own place in a larger world.
